Aug 5, 2014 at 11:58 comment added Federico Poloni @JorisBierkens I did not know of this discussion, thanks for pointing it out. On the other hand, I find your sarcastic "thank you" slightly out of line; a simple link would have been sufficient.

Aug 5, 2014 at 9:50 comment added Dude-Ray Ok, buddies, let's focus on the problem. I remembered that last year, Dr. Suvrit proposed a iterative method, i.e. "if ∥∑iFi\kronFi∥<1, then starting from X0=I, you can iterate Xk+1=∑iFiXkFTi+C, and converge to the unique semidefinite solution. If the operators don't satisfy this sufficient condition, then more thought is needed"

Aug 5, 2014 at 9:38 comment added Dude-Ray Yep, you are right. I have edited moments ago. The condition I gave may not be correct. But the usual criterion you raised is for continuous case not for discrete one. The discrete form is the eigenvalues of $A$ fall into the unit circle.

Aug 5, 2014 at 8:39 comment added Federico Poloni It is unusual (and frowned upon) to thank other users in questions on this site, so I have removed a couple of sentences from your post. Back to business now: you say that it is 'clear' that $X$ is positive definite under those conditions; based on what exactly? The usual criterion for positive-definiteness in the Lyapunov case ($B=A^T$, one term) is that all the eigenvalues of $A$ have negative real part, which seem different from (and contradicting with) with your proposed one.
